About

I love poems that tell me new things and take me to new places, and Kristin Hannaford joyously knows that this is the business of poetry.

Peter Bishop ~ Varuna House 'The Writer’s House'

Whether Hannaford’s poems deal with tropical places, or with the ecology of personal life, they are all from the intemperate zones of the heart.

Extract

she leaves from an Australian forest,
her eyes are the light
softened in the hour
after sun’s descent
a deepening of blue grey
the colour of small shells
or the elongated shapes of eucalypts
blue gum          you might whisper
